West Timperley railway station

The station was built by the Cheshire Lines Committee (CLC) and opened for passengers on 2 September 1873.

To the west the track still exists as far as Partington, where it has been cut off, preventing access across the Manchester Ship Canal.

The track to the east continues to Skelton Junction where it joins the Altrincham to Stockport line.

From 1 January 1923, the CLC was owned by the London and North Eastern Railway (two-thirds) and the London Midland and Scottish Railway (one-third),[3] but continued to operate as a separate entity.

The CLC operated passenger trains to West Timperley station from Stockport Tiviot Dale in the east, continuing to Warrington Central and Liverpool Central to the west.
